BRIDGETON -- The suspect in a shoplifting incident at a retail business in the Hancock Center Wednesday morning did not exactly leave police with a whole lot of investigative work in order to identify him.

The suspect may as well have left behind a map to his home before leaving the store.

Police allege that Ellsworth Wilson, 44, of Seabrook, filled out a job application at Family Dollar as he milled through the store for approximately an hour while filling two bags with merchandise, according to Ptl. Leroy Smith.

Wilson then reportedly left the store, setting off its anti-theft alarm.
